Researchers estimate that hundreds of millions of birds are killed each year in North America due to collisions with glass on human-built structures, making bird collisions one of the most significant causes of avian mortality globally.

With the understanding that birds are able to see light in the ultraviolet spectrum, bird-friendly glass innovator, Arnold Glas developed ORNILUX bird protection glass. The glass has a patterned, UV-reflective coating making it visible to birds while remaining virtually transparent to the human eye.

ORNILUX bird protection glass is available as laminated glass or energy-efficient, double- or triple-glazed insulated units with an additional low-E or solar control coating that offers a bird-friendly glass without compromising thermal performance or light transmittance.
